just for christmas, keir starmer did what was more of a clear reset moment, when he unveiled what he called six milestones were trying to live in code changer change. keir starmer is trying to remind british voters, the british public, what the agenda that he laid out towards the end of last year comprised. fits end of last year comprised. as politicians return to work in westminster, what are they going to be making of the increasing criticism of the prime minister we are hearing from elon musk, the owner of x, as he seems to be weighing increasingly into uk politics? even this morning, i say this morning uk time, i don't think it is morning where elon musk is, he has been firing off a post after post, post on twitter about a variety of uk politicians. you seem to have discovered gordon brown this morning, the former uk prime minister, he has been coming in for some stick, 14 years after he left office, 15 years now. so it is a total fascination that elon musk clearly has with uk politics. but zeroing in specifically on the grooming gangs scandal of some years ago, and insisting that there should be various acts of condemnation for leaders

of the comments made by sir keir starmer. one of the things that struck me in his words were saying the blunt truth is that britain now faces a new threat, terrorism has changedear, political intent, groups like al-anda. so now the prime minister is saying that what we define as terrorism is to change. what is your view on that as someone who works in this field? it that as someone who works in this field?— this field? it is definitely clear the _ this field? it is definitely clear the terrorist - this field? it is definitely - clear the terrorist landscape has definitely changed. it has changed in two really significant ways. one is that it has the methodology of the attacks has changed. i used to have what terrorists would call spectaculars, like 9/11, the coordinated bombings, centrally directed and planned and designed to create huge amounts of casualties and huge amounts of casualties and huge amounts of disruption. that has changed to being a much more devolved methodology where you are more likely to use a car or a knife, or something much easier to get hold of it. that is a real risk because it makes it much easier for people to take part and it creat

sir keir also says he'll change planning rules in certain areas to make it easier to create data hubs. downing street has insisted that rachel reeves will be chancellor for the whole ofaces criticism over the falling pound and rising government borrowing costs. borrowing costs are rising for many countries across the world, but some have argued that decisions made in the budget appear to have made the uk more vulnerable. activists from the environmental protest group, just stop 0il, have spray painted "1.5 spray painted "1.5 is dead" on the grave of the scientist, charles darwin, in westminster abbey. the graffiti appears to reference the confirmation that last year was the first to breach a key global warming threshold. two women have been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage. you're live with bbc news. hopes are growing for an imminent breakthrough for a ceasefire in gaza. joe biden says a deal is �*on the brink of finally coming to fruition�*. but israel is divided. ten members of israel's governing coalition sent the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, a letter opposing the ceasefire deal some of them are members of the pm's own likud party. angry rel

most important change that we can make in terms of our international trading and economic relationships is to get the relationship with the eu on a proper footing. i don't think that keirnt to be dissuaded by anyone in the united states. the truth is the uk does not have a choice. we can't make a choice between the united states and eu. we need to have very good trading and economic relationships with both and we need both for our security. we become more reliant on our security on the united states since brexit. still, clearly in the months ahead, there's going to be more emphasis on defense, foreign policy, security cooperation with the eu and that is very important for our government to hold to. >> sir, i'll be honest with you, i'm struggling to understand how the labour government can have closer links with the eu in a meaningful way in a way to deliver growth for the uk economy when they have said no to the customs union and said no with a closer link to the eu. how will this work? how will they forge closer trade links with the eu when they restricted themselves in how this relationship can look like? >> i have a lot of sympathy personally with that point of view

of them have, but there's been no prosecution. they they went unprosecuted for many, many years. the girls themselves, keir starmer actually changed prosecuted. they're not taken seriously. you know, we had cases again that charlie peters had revealed about fathers who tried to intervene. they were the ones prosecuted and hauled up before the police. there's been a massive attempt to sweep this under the rug, and that's made people justifiably angry. it's not rhetoric, it's actually unfair treatment. it's as nigel farage was talking about earlier in his clip, it's two tier policing and that's the problem. and yeah, i don't look at a pakistani man and think, are you a member of a grooming gang? i'll be honest. but if people thinking that it's because actually they weren't treated equally, there was a kind of reverse racism that's going on, and that's now why the community is probably understandably living in fear, having been treated equally in the beginning. if they'd had the full force of the law, there wouldn't be this discrimination. >> i think there is that feeling of two tier justice being served, which has really incited peo

change of government in britain in one of america's closest allies. >> and as you say, the i just want people to be clear and understanding. so when the scandal broke in 2012. keir starmer was not the prime minister by a long shot. in fact, he was a conservative government. um, in fact, the journalist who broke the story says keir starmer, who was then in a kind of public prosecutor, actually helped prosecute a lot of these cases and nothing has happened in the brief period of keir starmer as prime minister, where he has taken any act, any action that covers up or anything like that. right. i'm just trying to understand is there any basis for implicating him in this scandal? >> no, there's there is no factual basis. it's true that he was director of public prosecutions in britain, which is kind of the equivalent of attorney general, but also solicitor general. um, when that scandal broke in 2012, he then stepped up what was clearly a very lax system. he sort of tightened up the crown prosecution service, which he was in charge of. um, to try to prevent such a recurrence of what was clearly a massive sort of fail by the system. and he then began the prosecutions

keir starmer or some of the leadership in the u.k. will survive this disgruntlement in markets. what is your sense of how it would be received if there was some changeip in the currency markets, in the bond markets? jordan: i kept the list short. there are loads of differences. another difference on the politics side as you have not had rachel reeves arrive at the treasury, tell the opr i don't want you to the forecast and then let go one of the chief secretaries to the treasury. that was what liz truss did in that led to huge uncertainty. it therefore required the markets and the politicians themselves to call for the end of that leadership. this time around is not exactly self-inflicted. there is global factors driving the latest breach in fiscal rules. it is difficult for replacement of leader schmidt -- leadership in the labour party. the tories can get rid of their leaders by a vote of no-confidence. labour does not have the same function. it is not self-inflicted. it is not their fault that u.s. is selling off. i think they hang on and by march they are hoping for the best. hoping u.s. labor data slows down, that global rates rally and the nat

of terrorist material. >> earlier, sir keir starmer warned of a new growing terror threat, with lone young men now responsible for carrying out extreme acts of violence. >> terrorism has changedthe past. the predominant threat was highly organised groups with clear political intent. groups like al—qaeda. that threat, of course, remains. but now alongside that, we also see acts of extreme violence perpetrated by loners, misfits, young men in their bedroom accessing all manner of material online, desperate for notoriety. >> to the us now, where donald trump and jd vance have officially taken office as president and vice president, with an extravagant inauguration in washington that lasted into the early hours. >> and you witnessing the dawn of the golden age of america, that's what it's going to be. >> we're bringing it back. we're going to bring it back fast. >> we're going to bring it back. >> we're going to bring it back. >> wasting no time, trump signed orders to pull the us out of the world health organisation and declared a national emergency at the southern border. >> he also pardoned nearly 1600 people tied to the january 6th riots, with some expected to walk free withi

keir starmer had to say. >> i've set out what i did. i actually changed the system because i could see some of the things that were going wrong. i wasn't prepared, unlike some tory politicians. i'm not tweeting about it or talking about it. i got on with changing it in relation to the serious point you do make, because, you know, this is the victims here suffered terrible abuse, unthinkable, unspeakable, genuinely sickening abuse, and then they weren't listened to. and that has to be taken seriously. >> well there you go, guys. this is the prime minister of our country. and obviously i disagree. matthew, you used to be an adviser to the labour party. what would you have advised them this week? >> i think when a u—turn is quite obvious and that they're softening towards a public inquiry, a national inquiry, and get ahead of it, i think it's i think the strange thing is it's very reactionary. and it reminds me of the conservative government more previously, particularly post—covid, i think. last night you could see the facebook ads that would be coming of said mp has voted against, you know, imprisoning child rapists in your con
